Power Steering Fluid Check - Ford F-650 2015 Owner's Manual

POWER STEERING FLUID CHECK

Note: To avoid damage to the power steering system, do not operate
your vehicle with a low power steering fluid level.
Note: If adding fluid is necessary, use only the appropriate fluid. See the
Capacities and Specifications chapter. A low fluid level may indicate a
leak in the power steering system. Inspect the power steering system
and repair the leak or see an authorized dealer or a qualified technician
for service. See the Scheduled Maintenance chapter for the
recommended service intervals.
Check the fluid level when it is at ambient temperature, 20°F–80°F
(-7°C–25°C):
1. Set the parking brake, and then start the engine.
2. Shift into position N or P (if equipped) (automatic transmission) or
first gear (manual transmission) and turn the engine off.
3. Open the hood.
4. Clean the top of the power steering fluid reservoir.
5. Remove the dipstick from the reservoir and wipe the dipstick clean.
6. Reinstall the dipstick. Remove it again and check the fluid level.

When you install the dipstick, make sure to seat it and tighten it

Maintenance
Check the MAX. COLD side of the
dipstick if the fluid is cool or warm
to the touch (approximately
68°F-120°F [20°C-49°C]). The fluid
level should be within the FULL
range. If necessary, add fluid in
small amounts, continuously
checking the level, until it reaches
the proper level.
Check the MAX. HOT side of the
dipstick if the fluid is too hot to
touch (approximately 176°F–230°F
[80°C-110°C]). The fluid level
should be within the FULL range. If
necessary, add fluid in small
amounts, continuously checking the
level, until it reaches the proper
level.
